Abstract

An assay suitable for hydroxyzine determination in human plasma following therapeutic doses was developed. The method involves GLC and chemical-ionization mass spectrometry of the acetate derivatives of hydroxyzine and of a pentadeuterated analog internal standard. Following administration of 100-mg single oral doses to normal male volunteers, peak plasma concentrations of approximately 80 ng/ml were observed; the half-life of drug removal was approximately 3 hr.
